Exceeded our expectations, we would definitely stay here again.
Pros:

Lovely traditional pub, comfortable bedroom. The food was superb (dinner and breakfast.) The staff were friendly and helpful. The stay was extremely good value.

Cons:

The bed was a little small for us, but we do have a super king bed at home! The bathroom was small but clean.

Lovely stay. Warm room, friendly staff.
Pros:

Very friendly staff. Lovely scenic building

Cons:

We loved our stay and would absolutely come back, but there was just one little niggle about the lack of cleanliness on one specific area of the shower wall where the shower itself hung.

Just what we needed and a good breakfast to set us up for the rest of our journey south
Pros:

Breakfast excellent as was the bed

Cons:

No information sheet in the room so couldn't access the WiFi as were turned after reception was closed. A minor glitch and probably gave us a better night's sleep

Cozy, Friendly and just the job
Pros:

The dinner menu was excellent although there was a few items on the menu which were not in stock, the quality of the food was fantastic and all good was presented well also. Staff were very friendly and attentive.

Cons:

One downside i feel is the burger buns, brioche buns would pair nicely with the burgers served and also non gluten free products were given to a gluten free individual, luckily we asked if it was gluten free before eaten and product was quickly changed.

I would not go back!
Pros:

It was clean, but that’s about it!

Cons:

Trying to enjoy an evening meal with karaoke blaring away with staff involved having no interest in customers staying there, poorly maintained rooms with plugs not working, bath panel broken, and poor quality food.

Mediocre
Pros:

Near to where my daughter got married .
Easy, free parking.

Cons:

Room was very hot but as it was located above the main entrance with a noisy party going on underneath, with people going in and out, plus the owners dogs barked everytime anyone went near the door, so I couldn't have the window open. At breakfast nothing was out on a table to choose from, and we had to constantly ask for toast, juice, jam, alternative milk, nothing was offered, we had to ask for everything. No extra tea or.cofffee was offered after a first single cup. Felt very stingey. On the first morning as I was leaving 10min before the start of breakfast, I asked when I checked in, if I could just have cereal and a croissant or something, and a cup.of tea but was told no, we start at 8am.
